slowing production.

Hmmm. Haven't heard any of that. I know imported wines are taking a big

those price points, there should be plenty of room for Aussie exports
to grow.

America. desperately trying to mimic France but slowly discovering that the
finer things they have to offer are over rated and produced by rednecks or
queers! :-)
